Key factors include peanut availability, extraction cost, oil yield per hectare, and market demand for biodiesel and byproducts. Environmentally, peanut biodiesel reduces CO₂ emissions and promotes rural energy security. However, cost per liter may be higher than from other feedstocks. The GlobeCore USB plant enhances viability through energy-efficient operation, scalability, and modular design. It reduces chemical waste and labor costs, making commercial-scale peanut biodiesel more feasible and eco-friendly.
